Objective: This study was designed to investigate the anti-cancer effects of AAH on ovarian cancer in vitro and by using allograft model in vivo. Methods: In this experiment, the effects of AAH on proliferation rates, cell morphology, cell death type, cell cycle, caspase activities and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway were investigated in A2780, human ovarian cell line. Results: AAH inhibited proliferation of A2780 cells in a dose dependent manner. In addition, AAH induced apoptosis but did not affect cell cycle of A2780 cells. AAH also effectively inhibited caspase 3 and caspase 9 activities respectively. In allograft tumor model, AAH reduced tumor volume and expanded life span in a dose dependent manner. Conclusion: It can be inferred that AAH can induce apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells and has possibility as an anticancer agent for ovarian cancer.
